Suggest Treatment For Depression

my daughter is very depressed. she was in a institution this past week but was not the right place for her. she was with other kids with a lot more issues than she has such as suicide, cutting themselves, swearing, fighting, ect, this was very upsetting to her and not helping with what she needs help with. she wont go to school or do her homework and wants to sleep all the time. I have appointmets with different doctors this week and next week but she needs help now. is there a more helpful institution maybe a home like environment that would better fit her or somewhere where we could get help fast. maybe as a outpatient. she really needs someone that can help her learn to cope with everyday dissapointments shes really hard on herself and a perfectionist. school is very important to her and she has a bright future.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In her case, i would suggest to take help of a child psychologist. She needs both medication in form of antidepressant and psychotherapy. Better to consult a psychiatrist and try to get such facility at home. In home environment, she would feel better and that would help to come out of depression. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
